Dedicated to the permanently at war Manchester Gallagher clan (A.K.A Oasis) my 'Ideal Friends' radio show this week (
listen in full using the player below) featured a heavy dose of funk, hiphop, Indie, nudisco, deephouse and as always mixed up brand new tunes (it's loaded with them) and classic cuts. Even Pink Floyd and The Supremes made an appearance on this setlist. Who would have thought Breakbeat could also go with Motown? Well, apparently it can. :-)
Don't forget, you can listen to 'Ideal Friends' live and online (available worldwide) every Sunday 12pm - 2pm (GMT) and it's broadcast on
ReelHouse FM. Hope you tune in live!

Plus, classic HipHop tunes from Chad Jackson (Hear The Drummer Get Wicked) and Jurassic 5 (Concrete Schoolyard). All this as well as the usual choice cuts of brand new funk, nudisco, indie, breaks, deephouse and folk. Not to forget a jazz / funk / dub version of the classic 80s rock track from Berlin 'Take My Breath Away'. Want some Elvis Presley? He made it onto the playlist as well.

Check out my latest
'Ideal Friends' radio show originally broadcast live last Sunday. You can listen to it in full using the player below and l dedicated the whole gig to Sir George Martin, legendary Producer of The Beatles. He was born 3rd January 1926 - Happy 87th Birthday! The show featured the usual blend of brand new hiphop, funk, indie, breaks, beats, downtempo and nudisco alongside classic tunes from The Stone Roses, The Beatles and The Chemical Brothers. I even mixed together a breakbeat version of The Prodigy's 'Poison' into the classic 1979 soul / disco Randy Crawford hit 'Street Life'. Top notch!
